Pilea Care Guide

The most known Pilea is Pilea Peperomioides aka Chinese Money Plant, but there are other varieties that are just as beautiful! 

------------------------------------

FLOWERS:
Their flowers are super cute, they're usually a bit yellow and grow on a small stalk with hundreds of little flowers. I added a picture of a Pilea flower above all of this text as a banner.

WATERING:
Most Pilea can go up to a month without water, but for optimal growth, water once a week and water it thoroughly.

------------------------------------

LIGHT REQUREMENTS:

Pilea are easy plants to grow and people say that it can "thrive" in low light, but that is not true. It LIVES in low light, but it does not make the plant or any plant in general happy. Give it a nice spot in front of a window where it gets bright, indirect light.

PROPAGATION:

Pilea are know to make little pups (new stalks emerging from the ground) which you can cut or pinch off, put it in water or in moist soil.

Pilea peperomioides has hundreds of nodes on a single tall stem because the leaves always grow really close on top of eachother, this means that if you take a stem cutting and put it in water, roots start emerging from almost everywhere on the stem because the stems are filled with nodes.
